Mohanlal congratulates Vishnu Manchu for winning MAA elections

Mohanlal, the president of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes) congratulated the new MAA (

Movie Artistes Association

) President

Vishnu Manchu

after he assumed the office.

On Saturday, the actor took an oath as the President of MAA, celebrating his victory after a much-charged election. Attending the ceremony virtually, Mohanlal wished him good luck and stated, “On behalf of MAA and also on a personal front, I congratulate Vishnu for winning the election. May he get strength and support to work for the welfare of the Telugu film industry.”

Vishnu seemed overwhelmed to receive support from other film industries as well. “I thank Mohanlal uncle for sending me best wishes. In fact this victory belongs to my dad (Mohan Babu), I will make him proud,” he said, adding, “It is unfortunate that a few members have decided to resign but the show will still go on. There will be no compromise when it comes to working towards the well-being of artists. You will see a new MAA in the next two years.”

Seeing as how he and Naresh were also criticised by Prakash Raj’s panel and

Naga Babu

for approaching the media constantly for matters concerning MAA, he stated, “This will be my last media interaction regarding MAA elections and no one from my panel will address the media unnecessarily either.” Mohan Babu stated that he’s proud of his son and promised outstanding work. The actor had faced head-to-head with Prakash Raj, who had the support of Mega family. Prakash and his panel decided to resign despite winning other votes as they alleged lack of cooperation.
